Some songs have a timeless quality that allows new artists to make them their own. Nashville-based singer-songwriter Crys Matthews does just that with her vibrant reworking of “Feeling Good.” This track adds a fresh layer to a series of songs that celebrate classic hits and their lasting influence.
Released by Shamus Records, “Feeling Good” is part of a collection called Holidays & Evergreens, which features new versions of well-known songs from the TRO Essex Music Group’s catalog. This project invites listeners to experience these familiar tunes in a brand new way.
Matthews brings her unique energy and soulful style to the song, focusing on expressing deep emotion rather than simply recreating the original. Taking on a well-loved song like “Feeling Good” is a challenge, as she aims to make it her own while still honoring what makes it special. What stands out about this release is Matthews' ability to infuse her personal touch into a recognized classic.
Choosing “Feeling Good” as her single gives listeners something they can easily connect with, while its place in the Holidays & Evergreens collection highlights the ongoing celebration of musical history. Rather than leaving these beloved songs in the past, this project showcases the exciting possibilities that arise when artists breathe new life into them.
